I know that I personally have had every blood test, ultrasound, xray known to mankind and there's nothing wrong with me that anyone can find except that I'm a pain in the butt to medicate.
I do take a low dose of Lamictal. When I tried a higher dose that would be therapeutic, I get side effects that I can't tolerate (excessive bruising, purple spots). I wonder if the Abilify could interact with the Lamictal and cause side effects from the Lamictal that I didn't have before at the lower dose?
I know that I have another month before my pdoc appointment. I skipped my dose of Lamictal this morning (only 25mg in am and 25mg in the pm) and my jaw clenching has been much less today. Of course, I also skipped my Abilify last night. I had quit taking it for a few days and then started again. Swelling is about the same still though.
I'm probably going to be a wreck by the time I'm done figuring out what is causing my problems!!
